...neighbor's castoff items -ranging from rusty potato peelers to used refrigerators-at castoff prices. In the past few years, however, the sales have grown too big for the one-family garage; they have moved into farm fields, drive-in theaters, convention halls and even Pasadena's famous Rose Bowl. A far cry from the old neighborhood affairs, which were largely stocked with merchandise from family attics, the new supersales have become major outlets for professional merchants anxious to dispose of leftover goods...
Soil on Hands. Northeastern was among the pioneers of the co-op plan back in 1909, but in the next three decades only 25 other schools followed its lead. Since 1962, however, colleges like Wilberforce University in Ohio, Beloit College in Wisconsin and Pasadena City College in California have flocked to the plan, both for its inherent educational advantages and for its solutions to problems of space and cost. Today, more than 300 institutions have begun cooperative education. An estimated 300 more are considering the step-spurred on by a White House recommendation that $10.8 million in startup grants...
...name of the Worldwide Church of God. This is a stern, bizarre sect founded in 1934 as the Radio Church of God by Garner Ted's father Herbert W. Armstrong, a Quaker-born ad salesman turned preacher, and still ruled by the elder Armstrong from headquarters in Pasadena, Calif.

Then, in February, the inner church membership-about 75,000 people-heard a letter from Pasadena so secret that their ministers were ordered to burn it after reading. Its message: Garner Ted was "in the bonds of Satan." At the end of April, the senior Armstrong made a more public statement to the broader church membership-the "coworker" category, which includes such sympathizers as Chess Grandmaster Bobby Fischer-explaining that Garner Ted had confessed to some kind of transgression...
...erratically through its patterns, scaring the pigeons away from Trafalgar Square forevermore. Have we all been colonized by the Brobdingnagians? Not quite. Claes Oldenburg is at work, and an exhibition of his imaginary monsters, entitled Object into Monument, is now touring the U.S. After a first run at the Pasadena Art Museum in California, the show opens next week at the University Art Museum in Berkeley; through 1972 it will travel to Kansas City, Fort Worth, Des Moines and Chicago...
